That one good thing being in idaho, we don't get the hurricanes or tropical storms.

Yea, most places have their ad-and disadvantages. But it's not like
we have hurricanes or tropical storms every day. 2004 seemed like
it though. But on the plus side, I barely ever, ever wear socks or
"shoes" other than sandals. Never have long pants on. And can
ride my bike 99% of the time instead of using a car. But we certainly
can get hit with storms dense enough to block sat. signals. I have
Sirius radio, and have a few days where I can't get a signal.
